Are challenge answers being lowercased?

I've noticed that one can't type a capital letter in the answers lately, but I was changing the keyboard anyway. Gave it a try today and entered 8wp instead of 8WP on one of the Java quizzes and it was accepted as correct. Has anyone seen anything official on the subject?

Answers in the quizzes, challenges and modules have always been case-insensitive. Tried a couple of times with the tutorial questions, self-made quizzes and stuff. You can intermix uppercases with lowercases and still get correct. No official word on this issue (?) though.

@Hatsy, thought it was something new 😃 @Kuba I think that was in a multiple choice.

I guess this change is made by the Sololearn team for us! As knowing the correct answer, but still getting 'wrong' just because of a change in letter is irritating! Like it if you agree!

@Elric Most likely it was submitted by a user with an older version of an application, where it was possible to set up caps. In any way, this should be changed back, as some languages are case-sensitive...

Yep, noticed that a while ago, too. I am definitely sure it has been changed, as some of former Python quizzes demanded to determine a value of a boolean and the correct answer was 'True', not 'true'.

@Niko I remember the text area to be fulfilled only if you entered True not true, as capital T takes up more space than the lowercase one ;)

Yes, I had also seen in python quiz where I had to print the word 'Python' and for that the correct input was 'python'.
